RESPONSE TO FREEDOM OF FOIA-2023-000051 1 INFORMATION ACT (FOIA) REQUEST RESPONSE TYPE INTERIM FINAL PART I.D -- COMMENTS This also serves to acknowledge receipt of your request on January 3, 2023. We understand that you do not have access to the NRC's public website. As we informed you in our response to your request, FOIA-2023-00004, the NRC has made certain of its Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) and Memoranda of Agreement (MOA) publicly available. We understand the first part of your current request to be asking for anything that reflects this public availability. We have enclosed a screenshot of that public webpage, https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/index.html, which shows that Memoranda of Understanding are one of the Document Collections that NRC makes available to the public, and that they are organized by calendar year.
With regard to the second part of your request, given that you did not specify any temporal limitation, a search of each year and each MOU/MOA would exceed the threshold at which you would be liable for search fees as a non-excepted requester.
Therefore, we conducted a search of our public ADAMS site for all MOUs or MOAs between the NRC and: (1) Department of Homeland Security; (2) Department of Defense; (3) Federal Bureau of Investigation; and(4) Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers, from the present back to 1984.
Copies of these records are enclosed.
